Uh...I find Yoshi a lower mid tier, I don't fully understand his flaws that make him lower tier, he seems....sorta good to me (heavy, air mobility, aerials, hard to gimp, decent top tier matchups) I know some of his flaws are bad shield, not great at killing, lousy specials...

Anyone care to enlighten me on why he sucks so much?

It's primarily his shield and OoS options that make him bad, although I suppose tournament results and lack of advantageous match-ups (he has quite a few neutrals and no terrible match-ups, but he just doesn't have a lot of good match-ups :ohwell:) are also the reason as to why he's so low.

Oh, and only his Egg Roll is a lousy special.

Lack of OoS is a HUGE problem. I feel so much more comfortable shielding when I'm playing as any other character because I can get out of my shield so much easier. @_@

He's also got an exploitable blindspot on his nose, which sucks. =[

The match ups are another reason. He does decently all throughout. He has NOTHING unwinnable. No ****/get ***** MUs. Honestly, I don't feel he should be as low as he is now if his MUs are really as decent as we've been seeing them. He theoretically CAN win without a secondary, it's just very difficult. Which is why I see him a lower mid tier character.

But that's just me. =/

His shield, blindspot, and really just average moveset are what make him so bad. With a good shield he'd be bottom of mid tier. He has killing issues and a blindspot so big that I can't believe people haven't exploited it yet. A lot of yoshi's matchups are probably terrible, people just haven't learned him yet (I haven't learned the matchup perfectly but at least I have an idea of it).

And Yoshi is a Low-Tier character, primarily because of his mediocre killing power, horrible matchups, and his lack of any OoS options.

Plus, the blindspot as some other people have already mentioned.

Yoshi is one of the most predictable characters in the game.


Conversation with one of my crewmates:

"Everyone say I'm predicable with Yoshi :("
"Yeah you're really kinda predicable"
"I KNOW but I'm Yoshi what should I do???"

well that was a few month ago xD

If you mix up your DR Options you can reduce you're predictability xD

MetaKnight is boring as hell to use.

Agreed with the second sentence of Yikarur's post. <3

Plus, nothing beats seeing the stunned expression of Smashers when you **** them with Low-Tier characters. :D

Sh*t is hilarious and completely makes my day.

Predictability lies within the players, not the characters. >=[

But really, Yoshi is just too awesome NOT to use.
Players can mix it up, however only to a certain degree.

Yoshi doesn't have as many options and tools to be unpredictable as say, other characters.

thats right to a degree

yoshi is a very one dimensional character so he only can be played like one way at a high level. His mix ups are limited, everything about yoshi is limited
